Hey, seem to have gotten rid of my problem now:

Actually always wondered why I was able to edit the mapmaker.py file in Inkscape's extension directory with my python editor (PyhtonWin) as a standard user all the time, while it ought to be impossible since that directory was only supposed to be editable by the admin.
Somehow I have been able to edit the mapmaker.py in spite of that all the time as a standard user by opening it with PythonWin and starting to edit it, PythonWin never complained about me not being allowed to write changes to the file this way, but obviously Vista itself must have been quietly ignoring my edits to the file system anyway and appears to have been presenting me with some "pseudo" edited file all the time that only exists on display level in that directory, but is stored elsewhere while maintaining the original admin-generated file in place.
